Big Walter Horton (1918-1981) was recognized as one of the best blues harmonica players of all time. Fans of Horton, and fans of 50's style Chicago/Memphis blues in general, will enjoy this anthology of Swedish artists paying tribute to their master. Although the names will be umfamilar to most American blues fans, artists including Sven Zetterberg, Jan Sjöström, Thomas Grahn and Sture Elldin (among the six featured) play in a wide range of Horton styles and even manage to sing in his fashion. Some tracks ("Louise, Louise" and "Everybody's Fishin'") feature only guitar and harp but most are ensemble efforts. "Cotton Patch Hot Foot" is played as quartet; the knocking of the woodblocks lends it an almost cowboy flavor. "Little Boy Blue" features the swooping, expansive lines Horton was famous for and "Sneakin' and Hidin'" reworks one of the powerful slow blues Horton recorded for Testament. Lovers of blues harp will find Horton's Briefcase to be an enthusiastic and well-played ode to one of the blues' finest harmonica players.
